DIAGRAM OF MICHAEL BURKE DOUBE O-RING & CLEANING INSTRUCTION

Post by Tom Dowling »

I will admit to a sloppy record retention weakness. I am trading a really fine Michael Burke whistle in a key that I do not use for a whistle of, I hope, comparable quality, in a key that I do use. I want the person with whom I am doing this trade to have the diagram/instruction sheet that Michael sends with each of his fine instruments. I have at least a dozen of his fine whistles and cannot locate ONE such diagram. He is on vacation for a day or two more, per his website. If a fellow Chiff & Fippler could scan one such page and get it to me by electronic means, I would be most appreciative. My main concern is that, as I recall, one O Ring pertains to the tunable part of the head and the other O Ring is NOT to be fooled with. I just want to make sure that the recipient of the whistle has the benefit of the diagram and does no damage it upon receipt. My option here is to tear the place apart looking for one such diagram. I would rather not have to do that. To be sure, within five minutes of receiving the hoped for PDF, I am sure to come across one of my several such sheets. That is the way of things.

Thanks,

Tom Dowling

Thank you for that link. That page sure looks like the dozen or so that are squirreled away here somewhere. I will be able to send the whistle out with a lighter heart.

Again, my thanks,

You beat me to it, kkrell. I had once also scanned in my paper sheet and sent to Burke's with suggestion they put it on their web site . Don't know if they did.
